Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade - RE-RELEASE - Lauren Lapkus

Episode Date: August 19, 2026

Resurfacing this hilarious episode with David's 'The Wrong Missy' co-star!

All right, Dana, we have a friend of the show, Lauren Lapkis, who... Lauren Lapkis, good Lord. The Ron Missy with me and... Woo, a billion minutes. Yeah, we really got a lot out of that movie and we... And Lauren was such a delightful, fun, hilarious addition and the star of the movie. And did great. She's on, Stuart Fails the Universe, which I think is a big bang spin-off.

And that was a huge show. Not a bad way to go. But she's always good. She does tons of improv. She did it before our movie. She's done an after. She's really good at it. And she just tells us everything.

And we get to talk about all these behind the scene things about the movie we did. And just we cracked up. She's such a sweetheart. And really good to have her on. A fire. Firecracker. She's a firecracker. And also just very sweet and kind of unassuming and humble.

Yeah. She had two kids and she got married. She's just. just getting the best of both worlds right now. And here's here you go, Lauren Lapkis. I'm just such a dynamic. So like, did you guys know each other before? Wrong.

Missy. Just a little bit? No, we met. We met in Hawaii, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then you do this movie, Global Smash. That's what I say, Global Smash. Well, you know, wasn't it?

It was like a billion minutes, you know. It was a billion minutes. I like saying Global Smash very casually. Did this thing, Global Smash. I did this thing. People watched it for a billion minutes. They never turned it up. One person.

Because it was a big, funny, silly comedy. And they don't make them like that as much. They really don't. That's a cigar. That's the problem. That's this metaphorical cigar. But I find that in the kind of like war zone, it's like the army, not literally, save your letters,

but how bonded you get when there's, you know, it's your 18. hour on the set. I mean, so you guys have a thing that you share. And so I'm just wondering what it's like to reconnect now for the first time since the premiere for wrong missing. It means so much to me. It's so fun. I love seeing you. I was such a fan of David forever. And so I literally auditioned for the movie because your name was, you know, listed as being in a movie. I mean, not that I wouldn't audition, but I was like, I have to audition for that. And so I was so excited when I got to work with you.

Well, when they do this, was it, it wasn't quite COVID yet, right? It came out during COVID. It came out literally the first, like, month of COVID or something insane. Well, you, so what do you do? You self-tape? Or you go in those days? No, I went in. That was nice.

I mean, that's the thing. I miss that so much because we don't ever go in anymore. But I went in and auditioned for Tyler, who directed it and a room full of people that I didn't know. Grady was there, I think. Oh, okay, good. Yeah. So, and I saw a bunch of people I knew there, which is always the fun. you know, part of going in these things.

And now we don't do that anymore. And we just do it in a black hole in our house and send it out and nobody watches it. It's very weird. Then your baby does the off camera. Yeah. No, but you know, when we were doing wrong withsy when it came up, so I read it. And I was like, okay, well, I think Adam was like, this is really funny. But I think you're more the straight man.

I said, I want to do that. I want to try that because it's kind of fun to be that. I always say like Ben Stiller and meet the parents or, you know. So funny. And there's crazy shit going on. React. Yeah. Yeah.

Because it's, if you can get a laugh off her, then a reaction, then back to her, like, you can get double. Yeah. And of course, everyone's nervous because I'm like, this is all riding on Missy. And I saw some stuff, some tapes. And then there were some names talked about like, and Adam was really about like, let's get someone that's not just a total household name. No offense to the law. But, you know, just someone that's not like, oh, it's. for sure, I love Fisher, because that's kind of that type of character.

Yes. Yeah. It was great, of course. Yeah. Then there was someone from Ireland I saw, Lauren. Did I tell you that? No, I don't think so. There was someone from Ireland that had a thick accent.

That would be good, honestly. Adam sent it to me, and he goes, this one's pretty funny. And it was. And I was like, so, wow, really from Ireland, like, people are getting their tapes in. And at least something's working. Adam got it and was laughing at it. And then they were like, oh, nope, somebody just came and did great. And it was you.

And then we went out to Hawaii. And the funny thing, the first thing I noticed, I mean, you have to see the wrong miss you to really get this. So everyone has to watch it real quick if they didn't. But the first day, I knew Lauren was great because we had that, I think it was our actual first date in the movie. Yeah. We had the wrestler. Yeah. What is it?

Oh, Roman Raines. Who's turned up to such a sweetheart. Yeah, he's so nice. And he was at the bar and then I come in and then you're being an asshole to everyone. Why I even like you is the funniest part of the whole movie. It's so true. Like nothing good happens between us. The red flag store went out of business within the first two minutes in the movie.

You're yelling. You're like just talking to you're like, hey, sorry. Quit eye fucking me. She's like screaming to someone across the room. And I'm like, hey, hey, hey, don't yell. And then it's like charming to me. What is your character? Yeah, you're like broken.

You're playing yourself, basically. I'm myself, she's herself. And then I try to sneak off into the bathroom and climb out the window. And then I think that was the first night because I fall out of the window and break my ankle or like, and then I'm laying in a puddle. That was the worst. We're shooting it. I'm like, goddamn, I forgot. I don't really like doing movies.

It's so fucking hard. The first day. I'm lying. I'm doing a night shoot on the first day. And then everyone's above me. You know when you're laying in the ground? You're like, don't step on my head or something because no one's paying attention to me. I'm like, guys, first team.

You are so funny, though, when you're upset, which is maybe a problem. That is a thing. They're discovered. Well, I'm in a puddle, Dana. And I'm like, shaking. And they're like, hey. Did they put a blanket on you? You're shaking camera.

It was like freezing cold. I'm like, why is it cold? I'm in fucking away. And you have like a stunt foot on that was like fake so I could snap it. Oh yeah. There was something weird about that too. Like it was like attached to your leg or something. Stuck up my jeans and my wang.

And then she's like breaking it. I'm in a puddle. I'm freezing and they're like you're shaking on camera. I'm like, I can't not. I'm a person and I'm freezing. I'm a person. Were you number one on the call sheet initially? And then they moved Lauren's name up to number one.

No, it was Lauren. They did that in post. They were retroactively. She was number one. I got to the set that day and I go, hey, can I call a quick meeting? And then suddenly you hear a typewriter, white out.

You could do a better typewriter sound effect than that. King. He's the king. But you all, from old Hollywood, at a given point, I think some old Hollywood guy said to me, you gotta see this girl. It's like that.

She's like, Jim Carrey had a baby. She's fucking great, this girl. That's so nice. Yeah, it's like Jim Carrey had a baby just alone. It sits up with no one else. Oh, right. Had I had a baby with just some weird person. But yeah, so from that first day when I think, you know,

Lauren and I'll speak for her for the rest of the podcast. Yeah, that'd be great. She, if you're, if I'm right, Tyler, the director would come in and say like, Tyler, that sounds like a rapper. Yeah, he comes in and goes. Tyler the director is that what you referred to? Tyler's been down. Yeah.

And he'd go, hey, I just want the audience know that it is the director. And he'd go, hey, Lauren, maybe on this one a little drunker or something. And then she'd do it. And I'd be sitting there going, fuck, she's good. And then he go, maybe a little sexier. And then maybe a little. and then just take after take. Plus, we're doing wide, medium, close up, over the shoulder.

So she's got to do like a thousand takes. I'm like, fuck, she's going to burn out. This is tough because she's ad-living her ass off. We have a funny script she's doing. And then once you get that okay to do whatever. It's the best. She was really bringing it, though. I'm just letting me talk because it's compliments.

That's nice. Thank you. Thank you. I love it. No, I'm like, thank you so much. That was so nice. No, I mean, it was pretty phenomenal. I just wonder from your point of view, and you've done a lot of stuff.

But obviously you're in a big Adam Sandler produced show, Happy Madison, you got David Spade and the whole thing. But from your point of view, when you started being directed by Tyler, the director, what was saying? Yeah, Tyler the creator. He's going to love this. Tyler Spindell. Tyler, I know. I met him, I think, in D.C. Incredibly humble guy.

So you're probably, when are you feeling really comfortable like, okay, I'm really, I'm getting to do stuff? are you, when are you feeling good? Like, you know your landing. You're not getting fired. Are you going back to the monitor and checking yourself? No, I don't think so. But I think on the first day, I felt good because I, because the character's so big and I have to like go, you have to commit so hard.

Once I was like yelling in the restaurant, like you were talking about, like, I feel like that I felt good because it's like, you have to just feel like I was still nervous that day, but like the feeling of I have to just fully commit takes over and the, And so I feel like it made me feel confident because also Tyler is so open to, you know, adding your own humor and stuff, which was great. And it's getting laughs. Well, it's great. Yeah, and getting laughs is amazing.

Of course. That feels so good. And then you feel like, okay, it's working. But when she gets a big laugh, I go, no more of that. He pinches me really hard under the table. And I go, hey, come on. Hey, come. There she gets a big laugh, Dane.

And then I go, maybe I could say that on this take. And she's like, I'm sorry, what? Well, that was me. walking with Dex during the production. All I'd hear was like, I don't know, man. Oh, yeah. That's me.

I don't know. I mean, no, but I remember about halfway through because Lauren was doing this every day and we were having a good time and like dopey Johnny Farley's there and Swarton is there. Jackie Sandler. It's totally fun.

So it's definitely fun. It's hard to be in Hawaii. But I was finding ways to complain, shockingly. Why is it hard to be in Hawaii? Well, I'm saying, It's sarcasticly. We're in Hawaii.

We're doing a movie. Every dream situation. Yeah. But then toward like the middle, actually toward about two-thirds way through, I was looking at what we had left. And I'm like, I think this might be funny because you're doing it out of order. But I go, we still have this threesome scene. We still have this.

We still have her like falling off the clip. I go, I think we are in pretty good shape. But you just never know. No, it's so scary making something. And then you just have no idea how it'll turn out. I mean, I'm so happy. It's funny. Drink up, baby. Fantasy Football Happy Hour is here to get you wins and have some laughs. Matthew Berry here and my podcast, Fantasy Football Happy Hour, has the sleepers bus and starts-in advice you need to win your league.

It's Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Barry, wherever you get you. your podcast. But tell us about the time when you were wrapped in quotes and then they said, can you stop by? Well, by the end, I felt pretty beat up. Like, I mean, because it was a lot of physical stuff and I like waterboarding myself in the hot

tub or whatever. And like that was a hard day. Remember when you couldn't sink in the tub? No, I couldn't stay. I couldn't stay down. And then I was like going to cry. I was like, going to be floating under the water. which is impossible to do we found out and she's coming up with that shit on her face for Hellstar

I couldn't do it I walk in like Lauren we can see your nose Lauren you're not totally submerged oh my god I'm like well I'm dying I know and I really hate being underwater which I didn't tell anyone I just was like I'm fine like I don't want to tell anyone because it makes me feel more pressure if people are aware that I don't like you know what I mean like it's just like the whole thing like I'll just do I'll just suffer you know quietly but then I was like texting you like I'm crying um but it was hard But yeah, at the end, again, then I had to get in the ocean, and the ocean almost drowned me. Like, I had to, like, be knocked over by the waves.

It was getting dangerous. I was being swept down, and there were two guys who would, like, catch me on either side to make sure I didn't, like, fly off into the distance. But, and I had, like, four stunt doubles, who were amazing, by the way. Remember when you're just, I walked back, I walked to the set, my one half day, I wasn't working. And I go, let's go to Sandy Beach and watch her get pummeled by waves. And then they go, I get there. I go, you know, I used to go, when I was in Hawaii, this is like a shore break, dangerous beach. and there's signs everywhere going,

do not walk any further. And they're like, let's get Lauren in. It literally had like cones all over the beach that were like from the city. It wasn't like our cones. And then I see a stunt man, a stunt woman walking up going, I'm out. Yeah.

What do you mean? I'm out. Or like, get somebody else. They did have to tap out. I mean, because it was, they were doing it like a million times.

Yeah, yeah, you know, they couldn't take it. But yeah, no, but it was totally fine. At the end,

um, what you were talking about though is that like, I'm like, I'm done finally, yes. And they're like, oh, you just have one more day. Just some, like, quick little special effect thing. And then I get there and they put me in a, yeah, they put me in a, in like a, it's like a circle.

And I'm holding on with like, I'm holding on to all sides. Like I don't know what the fuck. And then they started spinning it. And they were just getting up like they wanted to get my face when I'm flying off the cliff and going around in circles. And so they were spinning me in circles, head over feet. So I would like make crazy faces. And I was going to bar. I mean, it was crazy.

And I was so grumpy because I was just like, I was like celebrating being done. And then I had to get in this thing and get sick. Can you buzz by and just do like five seconds of you falling off the cliff and hitting the wall? And you're like, sure. And then it's like three and a half hours later. Yeah. Yeah. I remember going, oh, my God, because I would try to stick up for Lauren.

I knew she wasn't going to say anything. And I'd be like, I think maybe we're pushing her to her. But, you know, listen, when all the dust settles, it was all worth it. It was all worth it. And then I didn't get to do anything because of the pandemic. So, you know, I was happy it happened. I didn't even fucking celebrate. I let a.

I let a flare in my house. I let a tea light. Did it open to a million minutes and build from there? You know, Dana. Or was it, how did it? Or did it slowly get to the billion minutes? It's a quillion minutes. I think it was pretty fast to the bill.

Well, they go, well, you know you can tell because Scott Stuber, who was running the studio, called, because he called me on Father of the Year. And it's, you know, when the guys, the high ups call, it's, they don't call you with bad news. They call and go, hey, wrong missy is already number one. And I was like, oh, because they just started putting one through 10 at the bottom. Oh, yeah. So with Father of the Year, I didn't know. And he just goes, it's doing great.

I go, it is? Is it started? And they go, yeah, it started this week. I go, oh, okay. Because of Netflix, I didn't know. You know, there's no real. It's just, I'm a reason. And then with wrong Missy.

And then Ted called and said it looks like it'll be number one in the world by tomorrow. I'm like, what? And then I get people sending me a photo on DMs, like, number one in Italy, like from their TVs. And I'm like, holy shit, really? It's so cool. It's so cool. It was the best. Yeah, that was fun.

It was the best. So you didn't have to do a press tour because of COVID and so forth. I did some stuff on Zoom, but I feel like my internet was like 1% working. And I'd be like, like, I don't know that like anything actually televised. Spade. Wrong. Spade. What? You hate Spade?

Cliff. How many minutes did you do in Thailand? I mean, what was the total minutes? I don't even know what minutes are good, to be honest. I don't know what's good. I saw some chart. You were top five, all time or something. Right.

It was so cool. It was something that minute-wise, we're all appreciate the minutes. We're all just looking for our next me and David Spade movie now. Yeah. Well, if it wasn't, okay, two questions. One, if it was a sequel to the wrong Missy, what would be a pithy title rather than just wrong Missy too, like the wronger Missy? Or if they put you two, I'm just thinking out loud because I used to be a studio executive,

we put you two, we put these two beauts, these two cutie pies in another film. They play different characters. Yeah, I think we should reverse roles and you just do Missy and then that's it. I think one of the... The Wrong Mr. One of the ideas was we get married and then you've calmed down. And in the first scene, we're having sex and we realize it's your... Don't whisper we're having sex.

It's your twin sister who came in. So now you're normal, but you're playing your sister since the same movie again. But I like that idea. But she's crazier. And then she puts a hex on me and then I spin out and, go act like you and then that gets crazier shit. And then we should have like, we have like four quadruplets who are all like me

and they're all crazy. That's it. A twin, the wrong missies. And it's two. And one is very cool and one is even crazier. All right. Let's do it.

Or I cheat and it's the wrong mistress. And then she's crazy. But it was me and I had a mask on. Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's so many ways to go. Or you work at a Vegas hotel in the summertime and you have a mister and you have a mister and you

go around for high rollers. Missed them by the pool. Okay. Words to start with MIS. I feel like that. It has to be familiar, yeah. I feel, you know,

because you give me a pitch and then I can tell my head how many million minutes it is. That one's like a million minutes, yeah. Yeah, I see instead of box office, you got to think minutes. Yeah. It's great stuff.

Okay. You know, all right, that was our wrong missy. Missy chunk. You know, Lauren does a show. Lauren. called Newcomers. I do.

We thought this was interesting. If I was not doing this podcast, I'd want to do a podcast like that. Yeah, it's so fun. So it's me and Nicole Byer, who's a comedian who's hilarious. And she host nailed it if you've ever seen that cake disaster show. And we watch movies we've never seen that are very popular. So we did, we started with Star Wars because we had never seen any of it. And we've now seen all of it.

And then we did Lord of the Rings. Wait, you've seen all of one Star Wars or all of all of all of the things? things that can possibly be. No. Yeah. It's a lot. Yeah. Every movie?

Every movie? I think we did something like 20 episodes or something. There was a lot. Jeez. Opeasel. Yeah. I know. I couldn't believe all the things.

But now I get every reference to Star Wars. So it's really nice because I, you know, doing improv forever, like guys just love to reference that. They love that. You just go along with it for years. And then now I understand. Okay. Let me give you a pop quiz.

Oh God. Oh, God. Star Wars. Was this from? Chewy, get us out of here. Sorry. I think that's from the first one. I can't too.

Chewy, get us out of here. Yeah, that sounds like the first one. Where's this one from, ready? I love you. I know. First one. Oh, first one. What about where Chewy gets rabies?

What about the one where the holiday special where Chewy's dad is like jerking off to like a movie or something? I don't know if that's a real star. I don't know if I'm. seen that one. Lauren. It's real. Chewy jerks all.

There's like a grandpa, Chewy, and he's like watching something like titillating, and he's like, whirr, like it's real. That's what I do. Jeez.

First comes chewy, then comes jerking off. Landed on me, no. The force not happy, yes? Yes. Yeah, he always adds

the yes or no at the end. It's very funny how they wrote, the Yoda. I know. I've pointed Yoda for a while. Yeah, well, we just... Do you do a Yoda, Lauren? I've never tried it.

I think it's like... Clear. Go ahead. What does he talk like? Is no try only do. Oh, yeah. Is no try only do. You know what?

We did just watch a... We did a whole sports season and we just watched Rocky and I like, I understood for the first time why everyone did Sylvester Stallone impression. I like always knew his voice was like fun, but I wanted to do it all the time. Like I, after watching that, like...

So, so fun. So funny. Adrian! Not even anything like it. After all that... I can do, I can do it. Okay, ready? The only movie I've ever seen.

Okay, get that ready. Okay, better. The tongue was funny. At the F, Saks where he's beaten up, right? Yeah. He's like, oh, dear! And, like, he's screaming and she's one inch away from him. I'm like, she got it, man.

She's coming. Okay, I've got an under impression, ready? This is Rocky 2. Polly's in jail. And he walks in, silence, and he goes, Polly. That's it. Polly.

He says it really under, because I think he was so, everyone's doing impression something. So he goes, I can play it under anymore. Yeah. You know, I, it's the worst wind up.

I don't know what it is. Well, you bring that, you bring that turtle in here. I don't know what to. Is it a turtle? He had two turtles named Cuff and Link. Pupkis. Cuff and Lankus.

He kept them for years and years. I think they just died like the other day. Like they actually were like 35 or 40. I saw my Comic-Con. Cuffin Link or like they were 50 when they did the movie. They were signing shit at Comic-Con. They go 150. You can buy a tortoise that might have known Abraham Lincoln right now today on eBay.

Owned by Abil-Lincoln. Yeah. I'm Abraham Lincoln. I got me this here total. Did you guys do The Godfather? That's a big dude movie. Did we do that? No, I've seen that.

Oh, yeah. Actually watched that, yeah. But we did all of Scorsese movies for a season, which I had never seen like anything. Wow. And that was good. That was fun. Which one rocked your world of the Scorsese's the most? Good fellas.

It was the best movie. Oh, really? We loved it. Oh, really? I was thinking of Serpico, Dog Day Afterno. Are those all? Those are just Pacino? What, what am I like the, am I like some kind of clown to amuse you?

Just that scene alone. Weird. Could go forever. Yeah, Nicole wants to marry Joe Pesci right now. Oh, she loved him all of a lot. Yeah, she loves him so much from all the movies. She's like, I want to marry him now. I don't care.

But yeah. They were loud to ad lib as long as you said, fuck. Is that true? I don't know. It seems like. It feels like it. He's in the middle. Is that, no, that's casino.

We're in the desert. And Joe's like, where do you get off getting on fucking TV? you're on fucking TV every day and he goes, you gotta keep things quiet and go on me, you're on TV, you fucking, and they're just screaming at each other.

Yeah, that would have a fun thing to do just to see all these movies. I mean, De Niro's underplayed neurotic guy is so funny and good. It's very satisfying because it's all stuff that is just so much in pop culture that I've just missed because I watch reality TV every day.

And so to be like, oh, and then it always feels really good when you're watching a good movie and you're like, oh, it's so nice, to watch like a good movie. Yeah. I just watch so much Bachelor and stuff. And I'm like, oh, there's a story here.

Like, it's so calming. You watch 90 day. I do. You know, I was really into 90 day for a while. I had to pull back. I only have so much time, you know. But they have so many spin-offs. What's the one that you watch that you hated?

Any movies you hate most of them? Oh. We need a trender. Oh, yeah. No, we, yeah, you want to put something on it on Instagram. We don't like everything, but we try to see the good in things because people, you know, get defensive. Yeah, that's true. So even, you know, the Irishman, which I knew was like a million hours long, I actually liked it.

It was just really long. But, you know, so we try to find things to say that are positive. Well, everyone's good in it. So you go, it's Scorsese and it can't be horrible. Of course. It's great acting. So, you know. And I think the funny thing with that was like the de-aging that they did, like all that

CGI. Well, then, like, Robert De Niro or Joe Pesci was, like, calling Robert De Niro kid for, like, half the movie. I do that on my Instagram. You know, when you look at that, you just, would any of you ever, like, under nervous circumstances, get in the front seat of, like, an Oldsmobile with a guy behind you, you know, get in the front seat. I'll sit in the back. Oh, yeah. Get in the front seat. They always choke you, right?

Yeah. It's always a wire around the neck. The wire's not the way to go. Are they surprised when the wire is coming over their head going back to their neck? I didn't see it coming. What is it? Is it Goodfellas where they take Pesci into a room? No, they take them out and bury him in a.

Oh, my God. That's the saddest part when he walks in the room. He's with his brothers. He doesn't realize it's happening. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's like a sound like, oh, or something. And then he gets shot. And you're like, oh, so sad.

Nicole Cross. Okay. Have you, just because you were talking about getting in the front seat, Have you seen those Waymo cars that are with no drivers? Have you talked about this? No, but I'm scared of them. It's so creepy. Would you get in one?

I know people who have gotten in San Francisco, and they're very nervous for the first few blocks, and then you get kind of used to it, but I'm not in a hurry to get into one. I know. It seems weird, but then sometimes I think it's safer than like a random guy on Uber. I'm like, well, it's just nobody.

It's harder to get raped. I couldn't I saw one where they say Here's a Carless car Whatever it is driverless car And it goes up And people in the back

And then they floor it And it floors itself And hits a car in front of it I'm like Oh my God Oh I don't want to hear About the glitches Like

No no no It's not supposed to do that Wait you know shit Yeah It will all be driverless cars Yeah Probably 10 years

Sidney Pollock directing all the president's men is also surprisingly great. And, you know, well, just start with those. I think you said about 10 movies that I should do, so I'll just start.

Well, have you seen Alien? I have seen Alien. Yes. Okay. I just saw Alien Romulus. And I liked it the first time when it was called Alien. it's the exact same

they go up some people come back and they go we're going to go on this planet we got to grab some stuff and I'm like there's going to be aliens on they go they're all gone don't even worry about it they get there and there's the eggs

I'm like this is exact exact but way more cringy when she gives birth the alien and it's half human and half alien did you see it? No I don't see it it's 10 feet tall

and then it's going back over the mother? Was it trying to have sex? Are you told them? Disgusting. Yes. That's not like the first alien. I think I tapped out by then.

Too much gooey eggs and mutations. That's sick. Lauren, I have a real question. All right. What is the haunting and tell me about it right now? Haunting is a podcast that I host where I play a dead influencer. Of course you do.

Right. Named Teresa, who. is trapped in between heaven and hell because she hasn't gotten verified. So she was trying to get verified. And so on each episode, you hear about my life as a dead influencer and my current struggles. And then you hear real stories from people calling in with ghost stories. So it's like my part is scripted. And then the other part is unscripted. And it's real ghost stories that are very chilling. Oh, ghosters are good. Dana has one. But yeah,

Do you have one? Tell me a ghost story. Tell me a ghost story. This is pretty quick. San Yer Cedro Ranch with my wife. Never had had any encounter. So I just feel like I awaken and I have this weight on me, you know, nightmare, like a horse on me. I didn't think horse. I didn't know that was relatable. And it was just holding me down. My wife's asleep and it felt not good. but I got up and I thought, okay, that's a waking dream state. Okay. Didn't happen.

Use the restroom. Come back. Feel like I'm as awake as I am now. Get back in bed and then it comes back. And I'm totally, this is not, in my mind, this is real. And then it's like pounding on me. It's like springing on me and finally lets me go. And then I just turned to my wife, five-star hotel, middle of the night.

We got to go. And she said, okay. Oh. I love that. She's so supportive of you. Pretty good. Pretty good wife. Yeah.

Do you ever think about that after that? It's so scary. God, dang. No. I've had another one where in the house, God, why is everyone still sleeping? There was a boom box in another room and it sounded like, and I didn't know about white noise,

but it sounded like it was between channels and it was really loud. Like, I go, why? God, no one hears this. I hate this so much. I get up by going to the. the room and then it stops. No. I hate this.

That's scary. So those are my two, but I'm not as nervous about it. I did actually have, I saw an aborition in my room in the hotel at New York recently. You're having a lot of these. This is like, you have like a bunch. These are my greatest hits. Yeah. This is, this is span.

This is over his 90 years. Well, can I ask you, have you had any sightings or anything? Well, we have one story. in my family, that's kind of crazy that we, when I was a kid, we got a voice or an answering machine message on the, you know, answering machine you press play. And it was, it was a collect call. And it said, you have a collect call from Grandpa Joe. It literally was Grandpa Joe, which was my great, grandpa who had passed. And you could hear a bar behind. He owned a bar. So you could hear like glasses and like things like it was a bar. And my mom and my aunt, I remember.

I remember this so clearly. I was like eight or something. And they were like screaming and like, like, oh my God, like freaking out. It was the craziest thing. I mean, I don't know. But it was. Was it ever explained? It was never explained. And maybe it was someone in my family pranking. But we have, we have like, we, when you say something's not, you know, if you're not lying, we say set it troice, which means I'm not lying. A hundred percent. I swear to God. And so it's like, no one ever said it was a prank. So I don't know. Well, it's called The Haunting. We have to let Lauren go now, which I like a talk to her forever. I know. The haunting. Where do you get that? Where do you see it? Where do you see it?
